Everything must go! Local businesses, here’s your chance to get some great deals. This Saturday and Sunday, we’ll be selling everything that’s left of the coffee shop and clinic. We’ll be handing out free Darjeeling First Flush tea for any purchases. The furniture, cups, mixers, you name it, all must go! Most things are pay-what-you-can!

Today, we celebrate May Day, International Worker’s Day. We honor all of those fighting colonialism, white supremacy, capitalism, and domination. Abolition Coffee was a dream to help serve the working people of Pittsburgh with quality coffee. Now, 3410 Penn Avenue will better serve Pittsburgh with and continue with radical/subversive literature to corrupt society.
•These past few months have been immensely busy and I haven’t had a chance to thank those whose hard work made the transition possible. for all your love and endless support, for your compassion and patience, for putting life to the place, Colin for countless hours, and all of you who believed in the shop. Special shout out to for sending weekend crowds to us, for your tireless work, .auto.body.shop for all of your services to the Pittsburgh community keeping people safe, for sending people our way, and for taking the reins.
